"Tale of the Lumen Keeper" is the fourth episode of my project "The Fireplace": I write the scores, and another artist draws the exclusive artwork for each tale. This one was made by Servane Altermatt, a very talented artist that I discovered around a year ago.

- I wanted to make something more electronic and epic, to express the greatness of such a frenetic and unexpected fight between Arya and Thakul, the Lumen tower keeper.
This took more than I could ever imagine, lots of drafts were thrown in the trashbin during the last months, while this one survived my cruel selective process.

I really hope you'll enjoy this fourth episode!

--- LORE - Chapter IV (thanks to Azika aka 3hil for the huge help):

" The gentle cold breeze that filled in the air a moment ago now suddenly turned to storm as Arya took a pace towards the Lumen tower's entrance. The bridge shook violently as if it would collapse and in the distance she could see a deadly beast emerged from below. It was Thakul, the Lumen keeper.

If it hadn't been for the Dark Ages that forced everything to fall into evilness, Arya swore that she would never kill the beast as it was once a delicate and harmless dragon. But that night, Arya couldn't count how many blast she had to blow, strikes she had struck, wounds she got and yet the beast still could move swiftly.

Arya nearly fell off the bridge when Thakul's massive wing sent a hard blow wind as it leapt over the top of the tower. Quickly with an arcane word and a flourished hand she sent a bolt of fire to Thakul's chest and this time it was a successful move.
The beast slid down covering the entrance. Arya slowly fell to her knees while chanting indistinct words and dauntlessly put her hand on it to cast the growing darkness away from the beast. Suffering words, sadness and anger came out at once, and Thakul finally let out a one last heavy growl as it closed its eyes.

Arya released a big sigh of relieve. She didn't regret her decision to be here but surely it wasn't a peaceful night stay she expected to have at the tower but rather a hellish one.

As she started walking towards the structure, the gigantic doors started opening, unveiling the path to the top of the Lumen Tower. "
